There are some truly wonderful creations there. There are several brilliant but
oh so closeted lego fans out there :)

Hogne-

Thanks posting these! What an awesome event!

Are your photos available for downloading all at once and in higher resolution?

Those models really are great!

Do you know why they are so nice?

Because these people (amateurs) only had 1 color and a few brick sizes to work
with.... They didn't have 3,000 different elements in 34 colors to handicap
their creativity!  :-)

These are not my photos. It's a friend of mine who took those pictures.

They should be available in higher resolution via the "All sizes" link above the
pictures themselves. I don't think flickr has a function that allows you to
download them all at once, but it's such a huge sercive that I might be
mistaken.

I know what you mean, I sometimes feel a bit intimidated myself
by the sheer diversity of the system - it's not only a blessing.
But I must say that some of the weird pieces in that selection
of 3,000 variants have spawned fun projects.

Perhaps there is reason for a "Dogma" movement amongst AFOLs?

"I plead to use only regular bricks and plates"
"I plead to use only the basic Lego colors"
"I take the liberty to make creative exceptions when I feel like it"
"I reserve the right to also build fun small-scale stuff on the side"

Naah. I'll just keep on building.
